This month, we’re offering two recipes that will work for indoor or outdoor cooking. The quick and easy eggplant slices make an excellent accompaniment to the fish, or may be featured as the star of their own meal. Begin marinating the fish at least two hours before you plan to serve it. Try topping either dish with just a spoonful of tomato or pesto sauce and a few gratings of fresh Parmesan cheese.

DirectionsPreheat a gas grill to high or build a fire in a kettle grill.

Slice eggplant 1/3- to 1/2-inch (0.75 to 1.25cm) thick. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper. Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with the mixture.

Place eggplant on the preheated grill. If you wish to have nice grill lines, turn only once on each side. Grill eggplant slices 10 to 14 minutes.
